A Color By Any Other Name................

As mentioned, I shop for my craft supplies on the internet. A couple weeks ago I found a really pretty piece of fabric, so I bought it. The auction said it was "grape purple". I LOVE purple. SO--it came. And it is NOT "grape purple", plain purple, almost purple, or ANY purple. It is BLUE. Here is the auction pic;

HERE is the fabric I got;

I took pics in natural light,with and without flash, and in a room with overhead lighting. Every pic turned out like the one above. SO--I did not leave negative feedback, I left neutral feedback, mentioning the color difference. The seller got snotty and said "It's grape purple with blue flowers."

OK folks--I am an artist. My LIFE is colors. I hope this lady gets her eyes checked, because there is something wrong with them.
